SDG Pulse 2025: UN Trade and Development Report

We are dedicated to assisting developing nations in reaping the benefits of the global economy in a fair and efficient manner. Our focus lies in providing essential data and analysis, fostering consensus-building, and delivering technical assistance on trade and development issues. With Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan and Deputy Secretary-General Pedro Manuel Moreno at the helm, we have been instrumental in producing 15 outcome documents and publishing our Annual Report for 2023.

Our comprehensive approach covers a wide array of topics, ensuring that developing countries can achieve inclusive and sustainable growth aligned with the ambitious goals set by the Sustainable Development Goals. From promoting gender equality to enhancing enterprise development, our work touches on various critical areas including commodities, competition and consumer protection, debt and development finance, as well as e-commerce and the digital economy.

Moreover, our commitment extends to providing nations with reliable and up-to-date data and statistics, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding trade and development policies. Through our Data Hub and UNCTADstat Data Centre, countries can access a wealth of information, including data stories, country profiles, and in-depth insights into the costs of achieving the SDGs.

In addition to our data-driven approach, we offer authoritative research and publications that delve into the complexities of trade and development. Our reports, such as the Commodities and Development Report and the Digital Economy Report, present evidence-based analysis and policy recommendations to help countries address the pressing challenges they face in the global economic landscape.

At the core of our mission is the belief that through collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing, developing countries can build the necessary capacities to thrive in the international trade arena. By providing technical assistance, facilitating consensus-building, and promoting data-driven policies, we pave the way for a more equitable and sustainable global economy.

In conclusion, our work at UNCTAD is driven by a steadfast commitment to empowering developing countries to harness the opportunities of the global economy. With a focus on inclusive and sustainable growth, data-driven insights, and evidence-based analysis, we strive to be a catalyst for positive change in the world of trade and development. Through our collaborations with governments, organizations, and stakeholders, we are working towards a future where all nations can truly benefit from a fair and prosperous global economy.
